laterally adjusted so that they are in alinebed rail fasteners i12) vare attached, at the ends (only one being shown)v of a wooden frame comprisingside boards 2O and end i boards 21 and the slats or cross piecesf22. In this'type of fastener the lower side of the plate 12 is preferablyY provided with a bent ear22 which is adapted to extend below the side board 2O to form an additional Vsupport and means for 'adjustment -o-f the fastener 19. This frame is provided with rings ora mattress. which ma be u be easily adjusted to fit. the slotsS holstered in any suitable manner, the bed rail fastener being usually covered so that substantially the fastening hooks yonly are visible, and asbefore explained, they can in the posts, the hook members 15 being manually adjusted' to the proper lateral registering position, orvangularly, lif necessary.

,The connectingmember is engaged with the .supporting pins 9 by simply inserting the hooks 16V in the slots V8 and pressing` them downwardly in engagement. therewith. lThese hooks are formedso that the more firmly theyare pressed4 down', Y the more tightly they engage the pins 9. It is ob* vious that thesebed-ra-il fasteners `are re-` `versible end for end,and also are invertible,

vthe' latter requiring, however, that r the hook member 15 be inverted by disengaging the lfastening screw 17 so that the hooks 16 will Aextend inf the proper direction. In

Vpractice rvthis inversion Y. 1s not) ordinarily necessary, and if the end of the side rail Ato which the bedfrail fastenerl is 1 attached is placed closetoV the rearface of the hook `.member 15, as shownin Fig. 3., the screw 1,7Y'myay be omittedzas the ,hooks 16 will notfallow the Vmember 7.15' to become vdisengaged?, from thel slots 14ffof fthe` plate 12. It-.is therefore Vobvious that although vthis fastener is particularly adapted for use in-a three piece bed, it may also be used in any desired position as ja. bedf rail fastener. vInstead of havin'gthe plate of thecorunerfast'ening on theouter side of the-side -boardf20, as shown 'in Fig. 5,*a corner fasteningV 23, as shownvin Fig.'6,.having -the same hook 15,1maybe Iformed with two right angledibends 24: and '25, in opposite directions.'V These bends adapt it to be atvta-chedby means of bolts 26 to an end board l27and byfmeans of fastening devices 28 totheinside endQ of aside board 30 which projectsbeyond the end of the end board 27. A supporting lip 'l 31 extends under the end board 27 for additional support. In this construction the Outer edge of lehe corner fasteningmay be flush with or within'the plane ofthe outer face of the Side board, so that it .is practicall)T invisible when the bed is assembled, and so that it will present aneat upholstered or covered appearance without in any way interfering with the functions of the corner fastening.

I claim: 1. A fastening device for bed rails comprising an angled plate with perforations in one portion thereof, a. member attached to abut the perforated portion, having hooks formed therefrom which are bent` at right anglesto extend. through the-openings, Vthe hooks fitting loosely. in the openings, so that the member .may be adjusted angularly with .f respect to the plate. j v. 2. In a bedrail fastening device, an angular plate having openings in one portion thereof, a Vmember abutting the inner side of this portion, and having hooksV which extend loosely through the` openingsto the other side thereof, and means'v for attaching ythe member to the plate .but permitting it toL be' moved laterally and also angularly for the adjustment ofthe hooks in the openings. i

3. A bed rail fastener adapted to engage spaced supportingpins inthe slot of a bed post, the fastener comprising an angularly formedV plate with substantially rectangular openings in one portion thereof, a member having hooks formed at right angles thereto,

adapted to abut the inner side of theplate withfthe hooks extending through said openings, Y `verse slot intermediate the openings,

the member being formed with a. transand a fasteningdevice inserted through the slot andY into the plate for attaching the member thereto, but permitting a lateral movement and kan angular adjustment vof the hooksin the openings. Y a

f4. A bed rail fastener comprising an angular plate having openings .in one Vportion thereof, and having an angled". extension at the lower side of` the other portion thereof, in combinationwith a hook member attached to abutthe inner face of the portion in which the perforatio-ns are located, and having hooks formed therefrom at yright angles to extendV through the openings ben .yond the other side :of this portion,I the fastener being attachable to 'a `siderail by means of the other portion of. the plate and the fastening l'extension at the bottom thereof,` and the hooks being formed to draw the'plate and hook member tightly together when the hooks are operatively engaged.
